The Morrigan frequently appears in the ornithological guise of a hooded crow. She is one of the Tuatha D'e Danann ("Tribe of the goddess Danu" or the land of the Faries) and she helped defeat the Firbolg at the First Battle of Mag Tuireadh and the Fomorians at the Second Battle of Mag Tuireadh. She is often read about in books that are about the Fae.
She appeared to the hero Cu Chulainn (son of the god Lugh) and offered her love to him. When he failed to recognize her and rejected her, she told him that she would hinder him when he was in battle. When Cu Chulainn was eventually killed, she settled on his shoulder in the form of a crow. Cu's misfortune was that he never recognized the feminine power of sovereignty that she offered to him.
She appeared to him on at least four occasions and each time he failed to recognize her.
* When she appeared to him and declared her love for him.
* After he had wounded her, she appeared to him as an old hag and he offered his blessings to her, which caused her to be healed.
* On his way to his final battle, he saw the Washer at the Ford, who declared that she was washing the clothes and arms of Cu Chulainn, who would soon be dead.
* When he was forced by three hags (the Morrigan in her triple aspect) to break a taboo of eating dogflesh"
